Read the following scenario:
You and many of your friends are big fans of a pop group called “The Sleazy Dirtbags.” The group has catchy beats and melodies, but the lyrics of the songs are hard to understand. Nobody really cares. They just like the music and talk about it a lot on Instagram and in text messages. However, a news station hires an audio analyst to transcribe the lyrics and finds what they say are hidden messages calling for a violent revolution against the government and the assassination of political figures. The songs become a big political issue and numerous politicians publicly denounce the group. Some fans of the group try to defend the songs by saying that the lyrics have been misinterpreted, but other groups embrace the message and hold anti-government demonstrations. The lead singer leaves the country and goes into hiding. Other groups hold anti-Dirtbag demonstrations. A psychologist says on a news program that the songs might have subliminal messages that could inspire young people to violence. Under pressure from politicians, the FBI announces that it will collect email records, text messages, and Instagram conversations about the songs from all of the band’s fans to look for a pattern of conspiracy or possible plans for violence. They promise that every message about the group anywhere on the Internet will be thoroughly investigated. Suddenly Dirtbag fans are public enemy number 1, and you are one of them.

1. Do you think that this could happen in the United States? Why or why not? 2. If this happened, what would you do? Would you change your communication habits?

Would it change your life? 4. Would you call this situation “Orwellian”? Why or why not? 5. Now discuss your answers with your group.
